--- Comment #13 from cmertes@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de ---
Without having found this bug I would have lost my mind. I never purposefully
activated the read-only mode. Can we make this bug a wishlist entry to have
some kind of indication of the read-only mode? A color change or something
similarly hard to miss? A checkbox in some huge menu as the only indication why
the whole software stopped working? Really? There must be something in the KDE
human interface guidelines to prohibit such a behavior.

Alternative to an indication, kile could detect that someone is persistently
trying to type despite the read-only mode and issue a warning.

Or having a read-only mode checkbox can be made entirely opt-in. How many
people use it, really?

Besides, it's not only Windows as a platform of course so that could be changed
in the bug description, too.
